Every year in our annual Readers' Choice Awards, we ask our fellow travelers to rate the world's best hotels, islands, airlines, and cruise lines. But of all the lists we end up with--crunched from 1.3 million votes this year--the most controversial is the list ranking the best cities in the world.
